This is me and Nancy Tate. Nancy is in charge of ushers and I be an usher in July and August and lots of times. And Nancy is so pretty.
When me and my mom joined the church someone came to see us. They asked “What do you want to do in the church?” I told them “I like to usher.” I was usher when we lived in Sylva and I like to usher. I like to pass out the bulletins and show people where to sit. I like to take up the offering and take it to the alter. And I like to show people when it’s their turn to take communion.
I meet lots of people when I be usher. My captains are David Lively and Jim Dobyns. They tell me which job I have each Sunday and sometimes we sit together in the back room during the sermon. When I don’t usher I sit with my mom.
Everybody tells me I be a good usher and I see lots of the people at my store too. People from my church. Ushering is important. I try to look nice in my suit and tie. Everybody does. We have a great church.

Billy, if everyone were as faithful a servant as you are, we would have a better world. Keep on doing what you are doing because it is very important. If you were not there, you would be so missed. Your sweet smile and your warm hugs are a blessing to many. They are to me. I love you, Elaine

Billy and Jane,
I am thrilled that I found you two on Facebook! I am truly enjoying reading through your site. Billy, I do believe you were the most faithful and best usher we have ever had at Sylva First United Methodist! We still miss you! Love and hugs to both of you,
